I haven't checked recent contract raises.WorldTraveler said:terms?Has any newly signed WN contract nvolve more than 2% per increase increases in pay?
And it looks as if we will continue the average % of raises as we go forward. SWA has already offered a steady yearly solid raises of 2% for each and every year except for the past years for retro. Plus signing bonuses, and other increases, BUT, also had alot of asks for contract language that the company already knows will not pass. This is just another stall tactic to drag out nego's past 2015 so that SWA can make do of it's promises for record ROIC for all the investors.WNMECH said:I haven't checked recent contract raises.
But this is the history of base wage increases for mechanics since 1996:
96: 2%
97. 2
98. 2
99. 2
00. 3
01. 10.25
02. 9
03. 3.3
04. 3.3
05. 3
06. 3
07. 3
08. 0
09. 3
10. 3
11. 3
12. 1%
The raises for years 2001 and 2002 were due to AMFA at NWA.
They raised the bar on rates, and we followed.
Before that and after, base rates have followed 2-3%.
So what is your point?
If we get 2-3% a year, that just raises the bar for all passenger airline mechanics.
The most notable trend here is you still don't know what you are talking about.the most notable trend is the last several years where the numbers have driven to zero or just slightly above.
and AMFA might have driven raises but they are history.
and WN has clearly given no indication that it is willing to give anywhere close to those kinds of raises again.
in fact, DL's non-contract employees are handedly winning larger increases in compensation than any comparable WN group.
of course 3% would be great but that is just not happening at WN.
